Southway Manor

Green Space and a Short Drive to the University of Houston

Southway Manor offers a quiet, homey community with an unusual amount of green space for the price. Those open, tree-dotted grounds set it apart from the budget crowd. The Golfcrest location keeps the commute short, near Highway 610 and I-45, with the University of Houston about four miles out and Texas Southern and Houston Community College close. That draws a steady student crowd. Homes run one to three bedrooms with gas stoves, ceiling fans, and on-site laundry, and updated units add speckled counters, two-tone paint, and wood-look flooring. Recent residents credit welcoming, accommodating management. The pet-friendly community sits close to the Gulfgate Center for shopping. Built decades ago, it leads with value, space, and location. For students who want a green, affordable base near the University of Houston, Southway Manor is worth a look.
